I could lift you up
I could show you what you want to see
And take you where you want to be
You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound
As usual, the only requirements to vote for the suspect are the ladder points required further below on the post. There are NO posting requirements; still, we advise everyone to actually read the arguments others present for and against Jirachi's brokenness (or lack thereof) and still attempt to participate in discussion on this thread. A sheer volume of people saying one thing or another will change nobody's opinion so make sure you're actually doing something to make people think.
Important NEW THING!: The ladder will only be open for six days. Yes, you read that right! The suspect ladder will now only be open for three days on the weekend period only and there will be two laddering periods. This will hopefully concentrate competitive players into a tigher time period as they now can't play games on weekdays against less (high level) competition, alleviating concerns about the competitiveness of the suspect ladder.
The way we're going to do this is as follows:
1. The Doubles Suspect Ladder will be up for 3 days. Saturday, Sunday, Monday (Start time 12:01am GMT -5 Saturday [3/4 to 3/6])
2. Players who achieve the reqs during that timeframe will be able to post in the reqs thread
3. The Doubles Suspect Ladder will be taken down at 12:01am Tuesday GMT -5 and the old Doubles Ladder will return
4. The Doubles Suspect Ladder will return at 12:01am Friday GMT -5 and stay up for 3 days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday [3/10 to 3/12])
5. The Suspect Ladder should go down at 12:01am GMT -5 Monday
Note: The ladder rankings from the first laddering period will carry over to the second. Also, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday should be the standard for the plan moving forward, but we decided to use Monday for now for the first session to give room for the conclusion of the Doubles Laddering Tour laddering stage.
Jirachi will be allowed on the suspect ladder.
The B value for this suspect is 14.5. One will need to achieve a COIL of 2600 to qualify. In addition, one will also be required to have a minimum of 77 GXE with a game limit of 60 maximum.
N=14.5/log2(40*GXE/2600)
These numbers were crunched by our local Doubles Magician kamikaze and not me because I suck at math lol!
Remember to keep an open mind in this suspect! Please respect the opinions of others; remember, just because you believe in your side doesn't mean the other is wrong!
Have fun
